|
4.1 Switched On |
Have a look at how a circuit operates. |
 |
Good flash media site with moving pictures of current, voltage and resistance. |
| Basic introduction to current and voltage. Written explanation with good pictures |
An advanced problem to solve. Get just the correct resistance to light the globe. Your chance to blow some globes. |
|
|
|
4.2 Series and Parallel Circuits |
Make
some circuits at Ohm Zone
(This is Sensational) Good simulation of parallel and series circuits. |
 |
|
|
4.3 Conductors and Insulators |
See what happens when resistance is increased. | This is a pretty good site for showing how conductors and insulators work. | |
|
4.4 Electricity, Heat and Safety |
Year 7's should find these games easy:
|
Do you know how to stay safe in a lightning storm? Take this short quiz and find out!
|
|
4.5 Buying, Using and Producing Electricity |
By
supplying a little information, you can use the
TXU
Energy calculator to estimate the energy usage and costs of your
home.
Ask your folks to see a real bill, and compare what you find. |
